Scrip

the gift card.Participating in traditional scrip involves a little advance planning, as it takes about two weeks to receive scrip after placing an order.

Ways to Support St. Augustine’s through GivingMonthly Gifts from Current Income

You can deduct a % of your adjusted gross income. The higher your income, the greater the tax savings. Gifts of current income can be spread out over a number of years to take full advantage of tax deductions.

Matching Funds from your Employer

If you’re considering a cash donation to St. Augustine Academy, be sure to find out if your employer has a “Matching Funds” program available. A large number of companies offer this benefit to employees. For every dollar you donate to the school, the employer will match that donation up to a certain limit. This is a great way to stretch your gift.

Gifts in the Form of Securities or Real Estate

A gift of securities or real estate that has increased in value can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. Gifts of this type provide you with the following benefits: 1) of making a significant gift without affecting your standard of living; 2) of avoiding paying capital gains tax on the appreciation of the securities or real estate; and 3) of securing a Federal Income Tax deduction.

Gifts from Bequests

A bequest to St. Augustine Academy can result in a greater amount of your estate passing to your heirs, both in terms of current tax savings and the possibility of future estate tax savings – especially when coordinated with a Wealth Replacement Trust or ILIT.

Gifts of Life Insurance

A donor may make St. Augustine Academy the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.A new policy may be taken out in the name of St. Augustine Academy or an existing policy may be gifted to the school. If a policy is gifted, your donations to the school in lieu of premium payments will be tax deductible.

Gifts of Personal Property

Gifts of personal property are tax deductible. The donor also avoids payment of capital gains tax on any appreciation of the property (examples would include jewelry or collectible coins).

St. Augustine PE Shirts from Lands’ End:

Catholic Schools Textbook Project:

The Catholic Schools Textbook Project is producing a 12-volume series of history/social studies textbooks and supporting materials specifically for Catholic schools and students. Textbooks that are urgently needed. Textbooks that bring history alive – in the heart as well as the mind. The need is urgent because the story of human civilization cannot be told unless the essential contribution of Catholics and the Faith that inspired them is included – and it is just this Faith that is left out of every textbook available to Catholic schoolchildren today. This project will change that situation.

Institute for Catholic Liberal Education:

The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education exists to give Catholic educators a clear understanding of the riches of authentic Catholic education, yesterday and today, and to help them implement the Church’s vision in their institutions.
